This PR adds some improvements related to developer experience.

The bump to CMake v3.13 enables CMake policy #CMP0077, which makes it easier to define and use configuration variables, especially when bundling lv_drivers from another project.

Other improvements include:

  • automatically linking with SDL2
  • fix a bug in install rule which would install every single *.h file from the main project tree
  • add option to altogether disable installing lib and headers, when lv_drivers are bundled in another project

Please feel free to considers these changes as you see fit.

Thanks,
António

* bump cmake minimum version to 3.13 and make it possible to use CMP0077:
  https://cmake.org/cmake/help/git-stage/policy/CMP0077.html
* starting with cmake 3.13 the behaviour of option() changed so that any
  value already set is preserved when the option() statement is reached.

* the install() statement copies all *.h files from the top level dir
  of the current project, instead of only the lv_drivers headers.
  This appears to be a typo, as the actual variable that makes sense to
  refer to the headers in the lv_drivers project files is
  CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, so I changed it.
* Without this change, calling install on a project which bundles
  lv_drivers within its source tree, would copy every single .h file
  in the whole project, which can be nasty, especially with large
  codebases.

* added the option to set lv_drivers as bundled. If enabled, the install
  targets are not defined and no lv_drivers headers or objects will be
  installed, since lv_drivers will be directly linked to any of its
  dependants.
* the default behaviour is preserved.

Signed-off-by: António Oliveira <[email protected]>
* if lv_drivers is used with:
  #define USE_SDL 1
  The CMake option LV_DRIVERS_USE_SDL may be set to automatically find
  libsdl2 and add it to the list of link libraries
